My adoration for you began like a seed.

Planted in the cool earth to grow and enlarge.

As I grew, it followed suit.

Strengthing with the years of love and care.

The work you put in as its gardener created a blosoming rose

Years of vibrant colours and a reinforced stem

You watered, nourished, cared

But my growing perception browned the tips

You dropped the hose

You left it to fend for itself

You ignored the care of the bush you began to grow

Letting it down, it wilted,

losing its once vivacious life.

I was left to pick up the petals,

One by one

Re-glueing the buds back together.

Re-growing the damage you brought

Re-hydrating your drought
